Joe Cornell found a bag full of cash, but instead of keeping it with him, he returns the money to its rightful owners.

A strong force of temptation may be hard to battle if you only have a dollar in your pocket and you found a bag full of cash. An amount of $125,000 stuffed inside a bag is really too much for a person who has debts and is looking for a job. Joe Cornell's dreams may all be achieved when he found the bag of cash yet he still returns the money to the authorities.

On a Tuesday morning, the 52 year-old father of two and a grandfather of four witnessed a brinks armored vehicle stopped at a red light on Venture Avenue. When the light turned green, the truck moved on but the bag was still in the area. He then speculated that it might have fell from the said truck.

To explore further, he grabbed a broom and a garbage pail and started to clean the curb as he made his way towards the bag. According to the homeless man, he grabbed the bag and that's when he saw that it was full of cash. With a lot of things crossing in his mind, both good and bad; what to do and what would her grandchildren think of him, Joe Cornell has finally come up with a good decision as he returns the money to the right people.

The man who is actually in his fourth month in the Salvation Army and is recovering from being a meth addict just did the right thing by calling his supervisor and telling what just happened. When Joe Cornell returns the bag full of money, it was the only time that they knew about the lost bag. The man who has been tempted to do drugs was actually able to resist the temptation of the bag full of thousands of cash.

As Joe Cornell returns the money, he was then rewarded with a $5,000 debit card by The Brinks Company. The family plans to pay all their debts with the help of the reward money. According to Cornell's wife, it will be a new start for them.
